I have been told that there are grants for new parents, ie, the spanish government gives a small grant to pregnant mothers. Does anybody know anything about this ? Thank yoiu

Hi Kimberley…

The answer is yes; a 2500 Euro is available currently but it is my understanding that this grant is one of the areas affected by the governments plan to cut public expenditure so it is unlikely to survive much longer…

Take a look at this; Its in Spanish so you may need to get a translation…

Foxbat is right, they’re taking away that payment. But do check out our article on pregnancy in Spain

thanks guys! this has helped. unfortunate they are stopping it.

Yeah, kind of. But the government’s got a massive deficit to plug, so everyone’s making sacrifices so Spain doesn’t end up like Greece.
